Congratulations, ungrateful patrons of Arcadia station. You did it! You whined and LA metro…read morelistened! They've come up with a brilliant plan to fix the parking situation - now we get to PAY TO PARK. THANKS A BUNCH...NOT. This used to be one of the few metro stations that offered free ($0.00) parking but its a shame so many of you public transit riders are such unappreciative entitled brats. Wherever you go parking has ALWAYS been first come first serve. If you didn't get a spot today well CRY ME A RIVER. Drive yourself to the next station over or just DRIVE to wherever you have to go! You're fortunate enough to have a car, USE IT. Ridiculous, especially if your whiny ass came here to avoid paying a parking fee at a different station. Thanks for ruining it for everyone. Jerk. All day parking at the structure and side lot is currently set at $3.00. More than one way fare, which is $1.75. The smartest thing to do at this point would be to carpool to and from the station, or simply get dropped off/picked up (which everyone should have ALREADY been doing anyway). Good luck figuring it out, folks.

This is such a big and beautiful mall. Inside the mall looks so luxurious and spacious. They have…read morestores in outdoor space in second floor as well. It's a hub for not just great food and shopping, but for entertainment they have AMC and Dave and Buster's as well. Plenty of parking available between outdoor parking lot and the multi level indoor garage. We initially came to the mall for dinner at Din Tai Fung. While walking the place, I found they had so many other Asian brand stores like Miniso, Meet Fresh, Uniqlo and Kinokuniya bookstore. But most surprising of all was finding a whole 99 Ranch inside the mall. After dinner, we did some shopping here. Later at night, I came back here to play some games in Dave & Buster's. But the signs can improve a bit for better direction. I was so confused how to get to the parking near D&B entrance. Also, the parking garage seemed under maintained. But overall a really great place for both locals and tourists.

2100 new laws get passed every year…read more Cities like Arcadia somehow believe we have to know them all and they are entirely immune to being logical and putting up signs. Case in point: I was helping a friend with her moving (a hellish experience to begin with) I have to pay a $65.00 "overnight parking" ticket. This, despite none of the neighbors parking their cars on the street getting ticketed, AND despite my friend who has lived there for years not knowing anything about any overnight parking regulations, AND despite she had roommates and NONE of them ever got ticketed. Adding inconvenience to injury, heightening my anger, and tainting what should have been an easy, restful, pet sit gig in Los Angeles, is the fact that on Saturday for 30 minutes (before I gave up) the Arcadia ticket pay-site froze "processing" my card information. I could not "refresh". I was warned, or it might charge me double. Which forced me to go through VM hell. I TRIED TO CALL THE NUMBER ON THE CITATION. JUST GOT VOICEMAIL. WORSE, I KEPT PUSHING THE BUTTON, IT TOLD ME TO PUSH FOR THE DEPARTMENT AND IT WOULDN'T TAKE IT. I HAD TO HANG UP AND CALL AGAIN. THIS TIME IT TOOK IT BUT INSTEAD OF GETTING SOMEONE I GOT MORE VM THAT TOLD ME IT WAS AFTER BUSINESS HOURS. IT IS NOON! MUST BE NICE TO HAVE SUCH A CUSHY JOB THAT YOU CAN BE CLOSED ON A SATURDAY WHILE THOUSANDS SWEAT OUT MENIAL JOBS 24-7, AUTHORITIES GET THE LUXURY TO CLOSE ON WEEKENDS. NOW I WILL HAVE TO WAIT TILL MONDAY AND THEY WILL SAY "OH, YOU ARE NOW LATE AND HAVE TO PAY A LATE PENALTY. SUCH A SCAM!!! AND THESE TICKET AGENCIES MIGHT EVEN BE A FRONT FOR THE MAFIA!!! (it's a thing, do the research) An hour wasted. Day has been ruined. I am warning all of my journalist, video production, acting and writing friends NEVER to do business with Arcadia. I give all of you the same warning. Do not shop there. Do not live there. Do not do business with them. They are actors of bad faith and every red flag imaginable is in plain view and proudly being flown. Today I got a call from City Hall FINALLY returning my call after the fact and the destruction of my Saturday. I knew the call would be completely unproductive. Instead of explaining why they give out overnight parking tickets in secluded cul de sacs that have zero warning signs. They explained it is a city ordinance and it is marked on a sign on the entrance and exits of the freeway. They expect you to know this and to seek out the sign in the jumble of signs in the 5 seconds you have entering or exiting a freeway. More to the point, the law obviously exists, as most things, because the wealthy are so worried about the homeless parking in their neighborhoods. If the city REALLY wanted people to know, they would issue warning tickets. The fact that they don't, means this is really a covert cash grab by the city as well as a homeless deterrent. Because logic only points in that direction. There is no other reason that this law exists except for fear and hatred of the homeless. Once again I urge you not to do any business with Arcadia.

So convenient! First time visitors and I was nervous about missing the buses at this large park…read moreI've only been to one other time. Luckily, we drove by the place on the way to pick up last minute drinks. The buses were already there 40 minutes before departure. We parked in the big lot (along Santa Anita). Look for the lawn bowling area. If you see it, you're at the right lot. The buses ranged from old tour buses to actual city buses. We got one of the nicer buses and caught the same bus back as well. The AC was cranked high and our driver was very skilled. Efficient and comfortable. Worth it!

Tons of parking available. They have some fun shops and great eateries such as Trader Joe's, Kohl's, Panera Bread, Ike's (by the way, they just opened 3 months ago), Chase Bank, and so much more. From the main street of Huntington Drive, it doesn't seem that huge... maybe it's because the shops are deep in and not closer to the street... who knows. Now that Ike's is here, I'll be visiting it more often when I'm in the Arcadia area. This shopping center is actually located in the city of Monrovia (neighbor of Arcadia) which I don't visit frequently except for driving through it as I'm leaving Arcadia on surface street. Huntington Drive is a long stretch through several cities and it just has so many plazas and shopping centers on its course. I actually enjoy my drive through LOL. Thank you! Anyway, drop on by here and enjoy an afternoon of fun shopping and good eats.

However, there are parking enforcers, so don't park here longer than 4 hours or else you'll get a ticket. Better yet, don't leave your car here overnight, your car will totally get towed. The parking spaces are pretty wide and big. On the first floor, it's only 20 minute parking. So if you are parking longer than 20 minutes, move your car elsewhere or else you'll get a ticket.

Staff are mostly friendly and helpful and I enjoy visiting - it's really interesting to browse all of the historical photos along the walls of Monrovia in past eras! The building is large and very well laid out with lots of signs indicating the department and the various city officials' offices. They have an information desk in the lobby as you walk in and the staff there are always happy, welcoming, and helpful in directing you. I've encountered some staff a little annoyed to have to help me at first but they always warm up and the interactions have always ended on lovely notes. Going in person is always my last resort but has always been the best way to get results. I always start with emails - and they always go unanswered. Next I move onto phone calls which almost always go to voicemail and again, never get a return call. This is why I'm knocking off a star. Going forward I will probably just save myself the headache and go in person to begin with lol. Otherwise the city is mostly great to interact with on a "business" level. On a personal level the city does a great job fostering community and we absolutely love living here! They pride themselves on their "small town" vibes and have pursued and won a top 10 spot as an "all American town" several years running.

Review #938 2026-002…read more I was in the area for a belated New Year's Day lunch with my brother at Auntie Qiu Kitchen. The restaurant doesn't have parking, though there's some street parking on Main St. & the adjacent streets. It was a rainy day & I didn't want to park too far away. Luckily, First Street Parking Structure sits just behind the restaurant, off 1st & Main Sts., though we entered from Garfield Ave. The free parking structure offers 4 hours of parking from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, & it's not gated or guarded so not sure what happens if you extend the time limit or park before/after business hours. There's other signage that says parking is for business patrons only, all others will be towed & to call (626) 570-5168 for towed cars. I didn't bother waiting for spaces to open up, & went straight to the roof for parking since it was during lunch rush. It was about 1/2 full on that last stretch. I think there's 4 levels of parking? The sky was dark & gloomy, yet the structure wasn't well-lit; other reviewers cautioned safety concerns due to theft, lack of lighting, & loitering. I'm glad my car was still in one piece when I was done with lunch. Whew! There's a pocket garden just north of the structure, but I'm not sure if it's a part of First Street Parking Structure. It has a couple of benches, a couple of citrus trees (possibly lemon or orange?), & a short walkway. The structure is in a prime location surrounded by a dozen plus restaurants & other businesses, so it's convenient but concerning since it's not that visible with foot traffic & may pose safety issues. I might try for the surrounding area for the 2-hr. street parking when the weather's better.
